Horwin
Horwin Europe GmbH (operated by the Heinzl family and based near Vienna, Austria) is a subsidiary of Horwin Global (operated by the Wei Zhou family, Changzhou, China), established to import and sell the Horwin branded e-motorcycles and scooter range that is designed (with European input) and built by Horwin in China - such as its EICMA 2019 launched CR-6 and CR-6 PRO.
EICMA saw the company introduce the first in a new series of "unique high-performance e-motorcycles", called the Horwin SENMENTI 0 - with a claimed top speed of 200 km/h.
Featuring "new batteries, motors, bodies, assistance and safety systems as well as sophisticated designs", claimed acceleration is from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds. The maximum range is put at an impressive 300 km at an average speed of 88 km/h. "While the battery charge level drops, there is no drop in performance and driving pleasure is fully maintained. A range extender is also available. Thanks to the Super Charger function, the vehicle can charge its battery from 0 to 80 percent in just 30 minutes at any e-car rapid charging station (400 V). Incidentally, the battery can also supply electricity - for example to camping equipment or other electric vehicles.
"SENMENTI derives from the Chinese pronunciation of the word for 'organism'," explains Wendsor Zhou Wei, CEO and founder of Horwin. Features include built-in intelligent electronics that learn, for example, to automatically adapt to the driving style of its owner, increasing energy efficiency.
"More than 30 sensors and cameras on the vehicle collect information in real time and thus increase safety," says Wendsor Zhou. "Among other things, the SENMENTI 0 is equipped with an ABS braking system, an anti-slip system, tyre pressure sensors and a collision warning system, mountain, starting and reversing assistance, rear air suspension, different driving modes, Keyless Go, an intelligent camera for automatic photo taking and heated seats and grips.
"With its light and stable vehicle frame and its elegant design, the SENMENTI 0 offers reduced air resistance and is ideally suited for both city and cross-country trips. The vehicle is expected to go on sale in mid-2023."
Horwin also presented a SENMENTI X concept e-motorcycle that is planned to utilise a "dedicated self-balancing function in order to keep the vehicle in balance when stationary and when riding".
